Gundlach Bundschu
Sonoma Valley Merlot
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
It is Friday night once again and to great the weekend I have opened the 2014 Gundlach-Bundschu Merlot Sonoma Valley Sonoma County. 84% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, what the othe 1% is I was unable to find that out.
Upon opening the nose reveals dark juicy fruit, blackberry, black cherry, pomegranate, raspberry, mocha, smokey oak and dry earthy notes.
The palate reveals confirmation of the nose, black cherry, black raspberry, black plum, spice, sweet tobacco, herbs, smokey oak and rich earthy notes.
A very nice full bodied wine with a velvety mouth feel, medium + acidity and medium + grippy tannins that lead to a long fruit filled finish. Have a great weekend with family and friends and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Nice merlot. Plenty of backbone to make this interesting. Not flabby at all but still plenty of fruit and spice.

Jun 20th, 2018A good Merlot but not top of the line. Good fragrance and initially quite bold but then falls a bit flat with some aftertaste. May 2018.
